Groom Gets Bitten By Rattlesnake During Wedding Shoot and Photographer Captures It All

This marriage started off with a rattle and their photographer was there to capture it all.

On the way to their reception, Jonny and Laura Loretz made a quick pit stop at their favorite hiking trail to sneak in a photo shoot with their photographer Maddie Mae Wilbur. The couple was only 50 feet from the parking lot when a rattlesnake came OUT OF NOWHERE and bit Johnny in the leg.

A park ranger just so happened to be driving by, so the trio desperately waved to get his attention.
